Big Thief

Apr 15–16, 2022
1027 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11226

Adrianne Lenker, the frontwoman of Big Thief, writes songs as big as the sky. One moment, she’s singing about the time she split her head open as a child, the next she’s finding ways to rhyme “finish,” with “potato knish.” Her band’s latest record, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, is expansive, covering 20 songs in 80 minutes. The group brings its Americana-tinged indie rock to the historic King’s Theatre in Flatbush, Brooklyn. —Sophie Kemp
